Where I have been and what have I been upto?

Hello Internet folks 👋. This is my first in what I hope would be a series of Medium blogs. I have recently gotten addicted to these blogs showing great DIY programming implementations and ones exploring relatable life experiences and advice and I figured I could attempt to give back in the same way (and build an online presence at the same time).

An App that lets you decide where to eat on a whim

I've been learning a lot of React Native lately and I thought I could put that to good use by creating a fun little app. I've decided to call the app 'Thinder'. The word Thinder comes from the Kannada word 'Thindi' or 'ತಿಂಡಿ' meaning dish or snack and it is a play on the word Tinder because I'm using my own implementation of their swipable cards UX.

The first portfolio I made was made following some basic HTML and CSS tutorials. It did look good but the problem was that it was very simple, something that everyone could make. I had now reached a skill-level in React where I feel like I could utilise some creativity and put in some personalised effort into my site.
